CAHK Trophy - Inter-universities Quiz Competition

CAHK Trophy - Inter-universities Quiz Competition was held on 2 June 2007 at The Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (Wanchai). After several round of intense competition, the team from the Department of Electronic Engineering of CUHK, which included Li Hao Tian (year 2), Wai Hoi To (year 1) and Yeung Sung (Year 1), had finally beaten the other five teams of elites to become the champion of this competition, by virtue of both deep understanding of communication technology and extraordinary problem solving strategy.

The World Information Society Day (previously known as World Telecommunication Day) is to commemorate the founding of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) on 17 May 1865. Each year, different countries or cities carry out various activities to celebrate this Day. Apart from the objective of celebrating this day, the CAHK trophy held by The Communications Association of Hong Kong (CAHK) is to enable the tertiary students to experience the power of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) and have a better understanding on the local ICT industry, as well as raising the interest and awareness of ICT industry of the tertiary students for their future career development.

A total of six teams participated in this competition, where all of the participants are all elites chosen from departments of different local universities and institutes. During the start of the competition, all six teams had shown their proper standard with confidence when answering questions as no team can have any advantage over each other to break out the seesaw battle, which have created a rather anxious atmosphere. After the first round, each team still did not dare to have even slightly slack to avoid losing any key scores. As the difficulty of questions gradually increased during the final round of the competition, the CUHK-EE team competed more fiercely and had successfully taken advantages from other teams’ fault to pull off the event and got the final championship. “The entire competition is so histrionic and it was so honorable when I knew that my correct answer to the final question has led to the victory of this competition,” described by the CUHK-EE team member To.

In addition to the trophy, the winning team is also given an opportunity to work in local communication company through summer internship programme. As the captain of the CUHK-EE team Li Hao Tian explained, both strategy and solid knowledge of ICT is crucial and essential to have beaten the opponents successfully during this competition, and this unforgettable experience has strengthened him the understanding of the future development of ICT industries.
